An evening with Neil Shubin

 

Students in my vertebrate biology class made the trek up to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History to see Dr. Neil Shubin of the University of Chicago talk about his 2006 discovery of Tiktaalik, an important transitional fossil in tetrapod evolution.  After reading some of his papers, chapters from his new book and seeing his interview on the Colbert Report, they were very excited to see him in person.  Here we are asking some questions at the book signing.  Dr. Shubin was kind enough to pose with the class.
